Something just struck me. Maybe this is not profound to you, but in my 23 years, I have never grasped this concept so clearly. I have heard, over and over, that Christ is our head, God is our husband, we can have an intimate relationship with Him, He can fulfill our every need.
All of this is true! I have caught glimpses and glimmers. I’m sure you can identify with me. There are glorious times when God is so clear to me. When I seek Him and find Him. When he teaches me something beautiful, life changing, and tailored to my life…
I feel like God is saying, “All the time, Andrea! You can experience this all the time! Come experience true love as it was meant to be!”
When is the wedding?! Has it already happened? Did I not show up for my own ceremony? I want to quit acting like this. I’m not married, so I can’t say for sure, but I’d like to think that on my wedding day, I will be elated to spend the rest of my life with this person, this man who loves me, who chose me. He could have married someone else, but he is marrying me. What devotion! I do not consistently share the same elation to spend the rest of my life with God…not as it is.
We can marry God, today! Now let’s begin to treat Him like the True Love that He is. Let’s devote ourselves to Him fully. His love will certainly sustain us for richer or poorer, through sickness and health. And the bit about, “til death do you part…” Forget about it. We get to spend eternity with Him!
Tonight, I’m praying that each of us would feel our worth – indeed, our beauty. We are beautiful because He created us in His image! Now put on your white dress and say, “I DO!”
Going Green!

and also, what a blessing to our potential future husbands to get this down early in our hearts: married to Christ first, spouse second. Christ first and foremost fills our needs.
